As long as they aren’t near the house, I’m fine with them. But my allergic ass can’t afford to let them build where they always try to, which is right at the doors.
I hate it. I mean, I’m phobic of all of the stinging insects because of the allergy and damn near dying and such, but I’ve come to enjoy most bees from a distance. I can even let a bumbler buzz me without pissing my pants.
But wasps and hornets? Heeelllllll no. The first time I got stung by one, my leg was swollen so bad it split, and that was in kindergarten. The second time, I couldn’t breathe. So, you know, fuck wasps and hornets.
Even a honey bee puffs me up and swells my throat, but they won’t mess with you just for existing. Like, we’ve had bees buzzing around our front porch all the time what with the planters and all. Same in the back yard, where we’ve planted native species with having plenty of native insects in mind. None of the regular bees mess with anyone unless there’s an accident. But freaking wasps just fuck with you.
